Hey, it's Stargate. I don't expect great television from Stargate. *G*
It's just that I never thought SG-1 was even remotely fun. I was mostly bored and all in all I maybe saw five or six episodes of the show.
SGA OTOH totally rocked my world because I was very much entertained and I liked how the characters only had each other. They were all alone in the universe, it wasn't about military operations all the time but about family and survival. And the most important people? Were the scientists because without them they couldn't survive out there.
Season 2 took all that away. The military was suddenly most important not the scientists, people died and no one cared and they went to Earth and back again all the time so the most important thing about Season 1 - the feeling of isolation and danger through isolation - was gone. I felt as if they turned SGA into SG-1 and I didn't know why because SGA as it was worked fine and had been a fun show.
So...I watched the first nine or ten episodes in season 2 and then just stopped. It just wasn't the same anymore.
